So disappointed in Stewart Lee and his wife Bridget Christie. I thought they might be the ones to take a stand for reality and feminism but he's a gender sell out like the rest of them. It's so pathetic and cowardly.

Another grumpy lefty comedian here.

I'm planning to write a response to Stewart Lee's article, and to honour his integrity, I shall not read his article before writing my response.

I forgot what this was all about but I do still write satire so when the next drama happens I promise I'll get round to it and not get distracted by writing a scifi book about a frog that buys human corpses on the frog internet, promise.

I started to read and then had a deja vu-'who killed the humans?' I think it's called?

Like,this is far from your first rodeo😉

I have never lived up a horse either😂.

You're writing,too me at least,is like my first Pratchett,knowing that it's totally off the wall and I have found another great writer.

So thanks for the chance meeting here! That cosmos is good at coinkidinks😁

He used to be my favourite comedian. But when I saw him live recently he tried to mock Ricky Gervais and he just looked like a sad git jealous at someone who is far more witty and successful than he is.

He devoted an article to attacking him years ago, so not surprised.

That teacher needs to be fired for spreading falsehoods. She doesn’t sound educated when she calls the Intersex condition a third sex! She obviously has no understanding of of biology and is just spouting nonsense! As a former science teacher, with biology and chemistry as my background, I get really furious at the subversion of science to serve an ideology!

I admire the young girl,for standing up to truth and the bullying of this” teacher”!

Obviously these children don't know what they are talking about and don't know best. If these children wanted double mastectomies to affirm their gender would Stewart Lee then believe that they know what they are talking about and they know best? Schrodinger's Trans strikes again.

The comedian whose sell out has impacted me personally the most is Richard Herring. Long time fan and monthly paid subscriber, I tweeted my incredulity that he had promoted Jordan Gray on IWD when RH has been a brilliant supporter of women’s rights - immediate block. I don’t want to sound like the “JKR has ruined my childhood memories” but it has been a shock to me how someone previously aligned with rationality and the needs of women for DV services plus patron of Scope (disability) has pivoted to prioritising the ‘needs’ of men. 😢

That is truly shocking. I do hope that teacher is forced to apologise to the girls. Well done to the girls though for having the courage to stand up to the truth.

Another beautiful example of why we should home school and why Stewart Lee should fuck right off

Especially as he didn't touch this stuff with a bargepole, until his wife, who identifies as a comedian, based almost all of her sthick on it.

I’m not sure who the comedian is, but those girls were pretty awesome.

They sounded more intelligent than their teacher.

Lee knows everything about everything but said he wouldn't make fun of Islam because he "knows nothing about it." His stance on mass immigration is "Oh well people have always travelled." How convenient! It doesn't surprise me anymore, honestly, many atheists leftist "scientific" folk have fallen in to the same dogmatic traps they were trying to get away from.

What a pity. Stewart Lee used to be so funny & insightful (and I say this not just because we grew up in the same town at the same time). He seems to have given up on both. It’s another indication of the eternal truth that humour and ideology simply cannot co-exist.

Smug toby jug Stuart Lee spouts ghastly Guardian garbage. There's a surprise.

Now, seeing an old clip of Stweart Lee ranting about Ricky Gervais' Afterlife (

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDlIzjGkSmc), I can't help but see SL as insecure.

He looks off to the side before tearing into Gervais' work, almost as if he doesn't actually believe what he's saying, but is saying it because it makes him feel better. And it might make me feel better too, if I was devoting my time to complaining rather than writing.

About that, brb.

I went to his show once about two decades ago, and was amused by his clever and thoughtfull comedic lefty take on life.

Ten years later, and now he was following the well-trodden way of extrapolating this path to the insanity of today, and it was nothing more than sphycobabble bollocks ( of ALL the genders wearing them, of course)....it was painful.

Nice to see Stewart supporting the Proud Boys with his polo shirt.
